"An awesome book, by a former atheist who today is a leading expert in the field of apologetics. A must read for any Christian desiring to solidify their faith and further prepare themselves in defense of the Gospel. An absolute read for anyone who still doubts that Jesus Christ is who He says he was!"
— Eladio (5 out of 5 stars)
" This book is what answered all my Christianity questions that no one else could seem to answer (at least not in a way that satisified me!). This book was LIFE CHANGING for me! "
— Lisa, 2/18/2014" I thought this book was interesting. It kept me entertained. I wouldn't read it again, but it wasn't a bad book. "
— L.T., 2/16/2014" a good book on Apologetics - Lee Strobel is a good Apologetic "
— Jon, 1/31/2014" Lee Strobel's attitude sucks. "
— Bratkeeper, 1/31/2014" I read this sophomore year in college, and it was one of the best Christian books I've read up to that point. Strobel's investigative journalist pace and tone made it a great read. "
— Ted, 1/26/2014" Well written and well thought out. Good book! "
— Keith, 1/22/2014" Decent presentation of the evidence for Christ being who He said He was, showing Christianity's historical and logical and prophetic foundations. However, it presented itself as an objective journalistic account, which it most definitely was not (Strobel was already a Christian when he wrote it, for starters). The interviews felt set up and canned, with the questions and the answers laid out perfectly to make the point the author was going for. I don't think this would be very convincing for skeptics, or even for those searching, but it's hard for me to say, as I speak from the perspective of a lifelong believer. "
— M., 1/22/2014" Sorry, this is one of my least favorites. I didn't care for the lawyer approach on this. I couldn't even finish it as it just didn't reasonate with me. "
— Rana, 1/18/2014" Offers a unique perspective to the understanding of Christianity. But the perspective is anything but neutral: the book is blatantly biased and unconvincing. Still, it's a well-written book with well-organized and well-presented arguments. "
— zltg, 1/9/2014" Amazing Book, I keep re-reading it every year!! "
— Bailey, 1/3/2014" that Jesus Christ undoubtedly was exactly who He said He was. And if He was who He said He was, there is no more debate. We then have to repent and believe and know that it is only because of HIS blood that we can then enter the kingdom of heaven. "
— Scarlett, 12/17/2013" I didn't really finish this one- I didn't like it that much because he wasn't as convincing as everyone claimed. that was several years ago, maybe I should go back and give it another chance. "
— Daniel, 12/3/2013" A great reading for those who want to be a disciple for Christ, also a great study book for adult Bible class. "
— Emma, 12/1/2013" If you think ignorance is bliss you will love this book. "
— Ryan, 11/22/2013" If you are interested in learning reliable information, facts, and perspectives on Christianity not commonly presented by the media, look no further. "
— Kindra, 10/1/2013" Great convincing journalism, however I didn't need convincing. "
— DeAnna, 9/10/2013" I picked this book up two years ago and read the Introduction and thought it was boring...but then I picked it up again and BAM! I read the whole book in 48 hours.... it was a page-turner- like following a journalist/lawyer trying to prove/disprove Jesus. "
— Curt, 5/31/2013" Good read - written by a former aethiest "
— Dick, 3/8/2013" Fascinating, strong recommendation for everyone and anyone "
— Alec, 1/1/2013" I'm having a hard time with this book - he doesn't substantiate his findings. As a journalist, I find it disheartening that he assumes the reader is ignorant. "
— Dj, 10/14/2012" Ok book, but he starts with too many givens. Could have been better. "
— Daniel2, 10/8/2012" Just a really great story to read over and over!!! "
— Sarah, 9/27/2012" Starting to read this one this week for a small group/Bible study. Looking forward to it as I have enjoyed other Lee Strobel books. "
— Natalie, 5/30/2012" A good primer for how evangelicals re-orient their views in a more positive manner. The author is very persuasive. "
— Richard, 1/16/2012" Eh....next time I read a book that examines historical evidence on the existence/divinity of Jesus, I won't read one written by a born-again! "
— Meagan, 12/26/2011" Gerat book! Lee really thinks through the questions that need to be answered about Jesus "
— Bruce, 11/25/2011" Christian. "
— Carol, 8/31/2011" Great evidence to support one's faith or encourage one who is seeking. "
— Allison, 6/28/2011" Actually read this after I read "Case for Faith." Lee Strobel writes a good book as he goes around interviewing some great Christian men and women, and making... well, a case for Jesus Christ as the Messiah. I couldn't put it down. Again, a must read for every Christian. "
— Jeff, 5/8/2011" Highly recommended for believers and atheists! "
— Yolanda, 5/8/2011" Hokum and pseudo science, rife with quote mining and "experts" giving testimony outside of their field of expertise. "
— Greg, 5/7/2011" I read this book a while ago, but I still remember the lack of supporting evidence and weak journalism. I have no interest in rereading it :)! "
— Dani, 4/29/2011" Wow! Great Story of Lee's personal search. I highly recommend it! "
— Mary, 4/27/2011" Well written and well thought out. Good book! "
— Keith, 4/17/2011" I've turned to this book, and the two others by Strobel, when I've hit rough patches and needed to be convinced that God is really there. This book is compelling, well-written, and just makes me feel better. "
— Tobie, 4/1/2011" I like Strobel more than I like the book. The book is just really light Christian apologetics.<br/><br/>Strobel's television interview show, Faith Under Fire, however was brilliant. One of the smartest and most interesting television shows I've seen. "
— D_Davis, 3/23/2011" Most tedious book I have ever tried to read, I probably won't even finish it. "
— Ameerah, 3/22/2011" So far, I really am loving this book :)One that I think everyone should read! "
— Susan, 3/7/2011" A powerful and enjoyable presentation of the case for Jesus Christ. A must read for all. "
— Eli, 3/5/2011" A bit gruesome and graphic, but well worth it. "
